Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö Rinpoché (Tibetan: ཤར་མཁན་སྤྲུལ་འཇམ་དཔལ་བློ་གྲོས།, Wylie: shar mkhan sprul 'jam dpal blo gros) (born 1968) is a Tibetan Buddhist Rimé Master.^[1] Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodro Rinpoché teaches predominantly the extensive Kalachakra system according to the Jonang^[2] tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.^[3] He is the founder and spiritual director of the Tibetan Buddhist Rimé Institute^[4] or Tong Zuk Dechen Ling in the Tibetan language. He translated the Jonang Kalachakra practice texts,^[5] with instructions, into English and Chinese.^[6]

Khentrul Rinpoché Jamphel Lodro was born in the Golok Region of Eastern Tibet.^[7] Nowadays, he is based in Australia, where the Rimé Institute is also located. Khentrul Rinpoché travels all over the world to teach Kalachakra.^[8] Furthermore, he founded Dzokden, an international community for Kalachakra practitioners that advocates for world peace from a Jonang perspective and Kalachakra in particular. ^[9] He was recognized as the reincarnation of the great Kalachakra Yogi Ngawang Chözin Gyatso. In 2017, Khentrul Rinpoché unveiled a completely accurate statue of the 24 Armed Kalachakra deity to help generate the causes for world peace.^[10]

Even though Khentrul Rinpoché is part of the Jonang school, he has trained with more than 25 teachers from all major Tibetan Buddhist traditions. ^[11] Through this path, he earned the title of Rimé Master in 1997,^[12] a title which was officially recognized by the Dalai Lama in 2013.^[13] He styles himself as non-sectarian (meaning he does not differentiate between different sects) and is thus part of the Tibetan Rimé movement . At the core of his teachings is the recognition that there is great value in the diversity of traditions found in this world. ^[14] However, his work is mostly based within a Tibetan Buddhist context.
